In case you have not seen it there are a couple of events for Heritage Weekend that may interest ISTC folk. For full details and booking of the following and all other events (there are lots) go to www.cam.ac.uk/opencambridge

University Library

You may remember (with affection I hope!) the tour we had of the University Library. If you want to go again or missed our tour you can go on Friday 13th Sept or on Saturday 14th. You must book at www.cam.ac.uk/opencambridge. Three tours on each day.

Cambridge University Press Museum

Available on Friday 13th only. Includes an exhibition of book, printing presses and type founding. There is also an associated lecture.

You bring along one of your documents and let the others critique it. As you’ll already know the more eye balls you have look at something the better it gets. And what can be better eye-balls are there than other Technical Communicators!

The comments must be positive and constructive to enhance the learning experience and if possible backed up by examples and experience, NO FLAMINGallowed! (not that you would of course).

This event was scheduled for earlier on in the year and has been moved to this new date.

We were planning a Document Hackathon on the 19th June. However we didn’t get an organiser to come forward, so I’ve decided postpone the event to later in the year. However if you are still interested in helping with the organisation of events please get in touch at Cambridge_areagroup@istc.org.uk.
